An ideal place to spend the summer vacation:

(note man in tree enticing 
bear with tid-bits.) 



N ALL the world there is no tourist resort 
comparable to Yellowstone National 
Park. It is unique among the scenic re- 
gions of the world because, in addition to 
ordinary attractions, it has the most won- 
derful phenomena known to scientists. 
Its streams and valleys are not surpassed 
in beauty by any in the Old World. Its 
roadways and hotels are equal to those of 
the favorite resorts of Europe. Its area 
includes, in addition, the wonderful gey- 
sers, hot springs, painted terraces, sulphur 
hills, and the Grand Canyon of the Yel- 
lowstone. Of that mighty gorge, noted for 
its riot of color, for artistic and beautiful 
nature-harmony, there is nothing men 
have written that is adequately descriptive. 
Words are trivial and weak when one experiences the overwhelming sensa- 
tions produced by a first sight of its wonders. 

Yellowstone National Park is the scenic gem of the West. It lies 
partly in Montana, partly in Idaho, but largely in Wyoming, among the 
peaks of the American Rockies, approximately midway between St. Paul 
and Minneapolis and the North Pacific Coast. It comprises 3,312 square 
miles, with a forest reserve adjoining it. 

The first man to see and know any portion of what is now the Yel- 
lowstone Park, was John Colter. Colter had been with Lewis and Clark 
to the mouth of the Columbia river, and on the return in 1 806 severed his 
connection with those explorers and retraced his course to the headwaters 
of the Yellowstone. During the summer of 1807, he traversed at least the 
eastern part of the Yellowstone Park country, and the map in the Lewis 
and Clark report, published in 1814, shows "Colter's Route in 1807." 

The next known of the region, definitely, was in 1842, when an arti- 
cle describing the geysers was printed in the Western Literary Messenger 
of Buffalo, N. Y., and copied in the Wasp of Nauvoo, 111. The author 
was Warren Angus Ferris, an employe of the American Fur Company who, 
with two Pend d'Oreille Indians, visited one of the geyser areas in 1834.

SIX-HORSE COACH STARTING FROM GARDINER FOR THE YELLOWSTONE PARK TRIP 

Many of the mountaineers and trappers of the period before the Civil 
War, knew the locahty. James Bridger, a noted guide in the '30's and 
'40's, and Joseph Meek, an old time mountain man, often told of the 
geysers and hot springs. 

Discovery or ^' NV^onaerlancl 

FOLSOM and Cook of Montana made an extensive tour of the park 
country in 1869, but the real discovery of the park came in 1870, 
when some Montana pioneers with Gen. H. D. Washburn as their 
leader, made an extended exploration of the region. Among those consti- 
tuting this party besides Gen. Washburn, were Samuel T. Hauser, Warren 
C. Gillette, Nathaniel P. Langford, Benjamin Stickney, Cornelius Hedges, 
Truman C. Everts, and Walter Trumbull, a son of Lyman Trumbull then 
a United States senator from Illinois, all prominent citizens of Montana. 
A small escort of United States cavalrymen from Fort Ellis, near Boze- 
man, under Lieut. Gustavus C. Doane, accompanied the party. From 
Lieutenant Doane's prominence in the exploration the party is sometimes 
mentioned as the Washburn-Doane expedition. 

To the Washburn party is to be credited the initiative which resulted 
in the region becoming a national park. Messrs. Langford and Hedges,

aided by William H, Clagett, the delegate to Congress from Montana, 
and Dr. F. V. Hayden, were the principal agents in this movement. 



±he Gardiner Gateway 



FOR many years Yellowstone Park lay beyond the terminus of the then 
existing railway, and the journey was arduous and required consid- 
erable time. In 1 882 the Northern Pacific railway, the first line to 
penetrate this region, was completed to Livingston, Montana. Livingston 
is now a thriving western city, nestled among beautiful mountains. It de- 
rives its principal importance from the fact that tourists from the east or the 
west leave the main line of the railway here, en route to "Wonderland." 

The railway company has erected a beautiful passenger station at 
Livingston which houses the division offices. There are also extensive rail- 
way shops. In 1883 the line from Livingston reached Cinnabar, not 
far distant from the northern Park boundary, and it became possible to 
conveniently tour a region then fairly well known to the world at large. In 
1 902 the railway was extended beyond Cinnabar to Gardiner, the Northern 
and Original Entrance to Yellowstone Park. A passenger station, built of 
great logs from the Western Montana forests and of unique and interesting 
architecture, was erected at the end of the railway within 1 00 yards of the 
"gate" to the "Wonderland of the World."

At Gardiner, and within a stone's throw of this beautiful Northern 
Pacific station, stands the official lava arch marking the boundary of, and 
entrance to, the great national park, the corner stone of which was laid by 
President Roosevelt. 

The park is entirely under the control of the government. For years 
congressional appropriations were small and the efforts at road making were 
superficial and the roads themselves temporary ones. With larger appropria- 
tions in late years and the work in charge of an officer of the United States 
Engineer Corps, a well-devised system of roads, including necessary and 
often very expensive viaducts and bridges, has been constructed. No rail- 
ways nor electric lines are permitted within the park. The regular tourist 
route aggregates 1 43 miles of travel. 

The government, within recent years, has expended $ 1 ,000,000 
in various betterments, and the result is road improvement and transforma- 
tion which astonishes and pleases those who see the park for the first time. 

Instances of expensive but thorough construction are the concrete via- 
duct and road through Golden Gate, costing $10,000; the beautiful con- 
crete bridge across Yellowstone river at Grand Canyon, which cost 

6 



YELLOWSTONE PARK 



$20,000; the mountain road from Grand Canyon through Dunraven pass 
to Tower fall and Mammoth Hot Springs, with a branch from the pass to 
the summit of Mount Washburn. This road, which cost several thousand 
dollars a mile, was a very expensive and difficult piece of work, and is a 
most interesting piece of road construction. 

Transportation — Hotels and Coaching Tours 

THE tour of Yellowstone Park is made in horse-drawn vehicles and 
the transportation facilities found here are as unique a feature of 
Wonderland as are some of the natural objects. 
As stated previously, no railways of any sort are permitted in the park 
and neither are automobiles or motorcycles allowed therein. 

Travelers through Wonderland have the choice of stopping at fine 
hotels — described elsewhere in this pamphlet — between which they are 
conveyed in modern stage coaches or surreys, or at camps, permanent or 
movable, between which they are carried in comfortable conveyances. On 
either the hotel trip or the camping trip saddle-horses are obtainable if 
desirable, at established rates. The hotels and the camps, with their

respective means of carriage, are entirely separate and distinct from each 
other. 

The "hotel" tourists entering the Gardiner gateway are handled by 
the Yellowstone Park Transportation Company, whose equipment consists 
of the most comfortable and substantial Abbott-Downing Concord coaches 
drawn by four or six horses. The old style coach has been modernized 
and improved. For Yellowstone Park travel a special type was designed 
by the Concord builders which combines the many admirable features of the 
old coach, strength, solidity, leather thorough-brace springs, etc., with new 
features affording most comfortable and enjoyable riding. These coaches 
are characteristic for their freedom from jar and undue vibration. 

Between Gardiner, at the end of the railway, and Mammoth Hot 
Springs, the site of the first of the Park hotels, very large coaches hauled 
by six splendid horses are used. Beyond Mammoth Hot Springs the four- 
horse coach is the vehicle generally employed. Coaches may be reserved 
for the exclusive occupancy of parties by the payment of the necessary addi- 
tional fares if the capacity of the coach is not already engaged. If the 
party numbers seven, nine or eleven a coach for the regular tour will be set 
aside, when possible, for its exclusive use, in exchange for the required num- 
ber of regular transportation tickets. The exclusive use of a surrey for

private parties of two, three, four or five people may be obtained, if avail- 
able, at a specified price by the day. 

In case parties desire to stop over en route and retain exclusive use of 
the surrey or coach in which they are traveling, it can be done upon the 
payment of from $7.50 to $20.00 a day additional, depending on the 
size of the vehicle. Definite arrangements may be made with the Superin- 
tendent of Transportation at Mammoth Hot Springs before leaving for the 
Park tour. 

TTie transportation system of this company is amazing in its extent and 
management. Between 600 and 1 ,000 head of horses are required to 
maintain it and the transportation company numbers its vehicles by the 
hundred. At its headquarters at Mammoth Hot Springs it maintains black- 
smith and general repair shops, a hospital for sick horses, a veterinarian 
and a large corps of employes. 

The handling of passengers by coach conforms to a definite plan 
and the coaches move on regular schedule. Delays are thus avoided and 
throughout the journey the coaches move with precision over their stated 
runs. Passengers are assigned to definite coach accommodations at the 
beginning of the tour and thus find their places each day without difficulty. 
At each hotel the loading of coaches and the reception of incoming guests 
and baggage is supervised by an experienced transportation agent. 

9 



THE LAi^D OF GEYSERS C 



The drivers of the coaches are picked men, remarkably proficient in 
their caHing and of long experience in the mountains. 

Each day's journey through the Park unfolds new enjoyments. The 
trip, going in by Gardiner, is a progressive and increasingly enjoyable one. 
Each day's sight-seeing is a Httle better than that of the preceding one, and 
this is true of the Gardiner entrance tour onl}). One finds that there is a 
cumulative charm and impressiveness in the experiences of each new day. 
The landscape changes with amazing suddenness. Each wonder spot, when 
passed, is found to be but the prelude to something more inspiring. From 
the coaches, one observes with increasing surprise nature's varying pageant 
in which are embraced mountains and canyons, geysers, tumbling streams, 
hot springs, mud caldrons, paint pots, weird and impressive landscape, and 
all that is picturesque, odd, inviting, and agreeable in the world out-of-doors. 

The coach journeys from day to day are never long enough to become 
fatiguing. Each day's trip is from one hotel to another, and the longer 
trips are broken with noon stops at lunch stations which provide ample rest. 

This affords a pleasing variety and zest to the trip, as it gives tourists 
an opportunity to ramble leisurely about the lunch stations and view many 
interesting objects.

Camping Througn the Park 

BESIDES the hotel and stage tour through Yellowstone Park, there 
are permanent and movable camps. Numerous tourists organize 
parties and go through Yellowstone Park with their own or chartered 
camping outfits, stopping wherever and whenever they desire and staying 
as may suit their pleasure. Some people walk through the Park, whereas 
others make the trip on horseback or on bicycles. The different ways of 
touring the Park have their several attractions, but the supreme enjoyment 
of all is focused in the glorious climate, the inspiring scenery, and the 
unique experiences to be enjoyed nowhere else to the extent they are in this 
great Wonderland. 

Licenses are granted to firms and individuals to personally conduct 
camping parties through the Park. A list may be obtained from the Park 
Superintendent at Mammoth Hot Springs.

The 3oat Trip on i ellowstone Lake 

THOSE who elect to leave the coaches at the west arm of the lake 
(Thumb Lunch Station) can make the boat trip to the Lake Col- 
onial Hotel at Lake outlet, but the transportation on Yellowstone 
Lake is not a part of the regular tour and a slight additional fare is charged. 

The boats in use for this enjoyable and scenic trip are large, substantial 
gasoline motor boats, thoroughly trustworthy. They are operated by the 
Yellowstone Park Boat Company. 

The boat company also has motor and row boats of various sizes 
for use of outing and fishing parties. All facilities are at hand at the 
Lake Hotel for those who desire to make pleasure excursions or camp out 
about the lake or to seek its remote parts for fishing or for the entrancing 
mountain scenery on every hand. A favorite trip is that to the southeast 
arm of the lake into which flows the upper Yellowstone River — so large that 
it may be navigated in a motor boat for several miles through wild and 
inspiring scenery. 



The Park Hotels 

ONE of the most enjoyable accompaniments of the Park tour is the 
system of hotels where travelers rest and enjoy a new and original 
mode of life for a few days or weeks. 

At each of the five principal centers of interest in the Park, the 
Yellowstone Park Hotel Company has a large and modern hotel equipped 
with baths, steam heat, electricity, etc. These hostelries have, each, a 
capacity for at least 250 guests, some of them for more. Besides these 
hotels, which are located at Mammoth Hot Springs, Lower geyser basin. 
Upper geyser basin, the Outlet of Yellowstone lake, and Grand Canyon, 
there are lunch stations at Norris geyser basin and the West arm of Yel- 
lowstone lake. 

The large hotel at Mammoth Hot Springs is within walking distance 
of the renowned colored terraces with their beautiful hot springs. The 
lunch station at Norris basin overlooks the weird geyser scene below. In 
an emergency a limited number of persons can be accommodated here 
over night. 

The Fountain hotel, at Lower geyser basin, is a short distance from 
the Mammoth paint pots and the Fountain geyser, the eruptions of the latter 
being plainly visible from the hotel. The baths at the Fountain hotel are 
supplied from a hot spring near the geyser and paint pots. 

The commodious station at Yellowstone Lake (West Arm, or Thumb 
Lunch Station) across the Continental divide, will house a few tourists in 
case of emergency.

Old Faitkful Inn 

AMONG the hotels of the Park Old Faithful Inn, the Yellowstone 
Lake hotel, and the new hotel at the Grand Canyon, deserve 
particular mention. Old Faithful Inn is an innovation. The 
like of this beautiful and imposing structure does not exist elsewhere. 

The forests of the Park abound in peculiar tree growths. These 
abnormal growths are in perfect keeping with the unusual character of 
this Wonderland, and enter prominently into the construction of Old 
Faithful Inn, which is thus a unique hotel home in a unique land. The 
Inn is a thoroughly modern and artistic structure in every respect and rep- 
resents an expenditure approaching $200,000. Electric lights and bells. 




OLD FAITHFUL INN, UPPER GEYSER BASIN 



new and unique room furnishings, steam heat, good lire protection, dormers, 
French windows, massive porches with rustic seats and swings, are a few 
of the many noteworthy features. The office or reception hall is most strik- 
ing. This room is seventy-five feet square and extends upward ninety-two 
feet to the peak of the roof. An enormous chimney of lava blocks of as- 
sorted sizes, fourteen feet square and containing eight fireplaces, stands in 
one corner. Fires of big logs are kept going constantly in one or more of the 
large fireplaces. Back of the chimney is a snug and unconventional writ- 
ing room recess. 

Large log balconies surround this great court on three sides on the sec- 
ond and third floors, and other and smaller balconies are found still higher 

up- 

The dining room is sixty feet square, with another huge lava chimney 
and fireplace and with very large and fine plate-glass windows. From these 
windows the hourly eruptions of Old Faithful geyser may be seen. 

13 



© THE LAND OF GEYSERS € 



The distant eruptions of the Grand, Giant, Riverside, Splendid, and 
other geysers also may be seen from the Inn, while all the geyser eruptions 
between the Castle and Old Faithful are plainly visible. A searchlight 
is operated from the roof of the hotel at night, showing the geysers in erup- 
tion — a most remarkable sight — and the bears at the edge of the woods, 
where they prowl about the garbage piles. 

The bedrooms are of log structure, or of natural, unplaned, unpainted 
pine, the effect being unique and pleasing. The furnishings are of the Arts 
and Crafts style. 

Tourists should remain some time at Old Faithful Inn if possible. 

The Lake Colonial Hotel 

AS complete in every way as Old Faithful Inn, is the Colonial hotel 
at Yellowstone lake. Here stands a stately, dignified building 
of Colonial architecture, massive and imposing in size, with high- 
columned porches and a veranda across the entire front, the whole beauti- 
fully illuminated with electric lights at night. The hotel faces and over- 
looks Yellowstone lake, twenty miles in length, framed in by the mountains 
on each side of it. 

The large reception room of this structure is finished in California 
redwood, is electrically lighted at night, and is furnished with large rugs 
and all kinds of easy chairs. It is a place where one feels wonderfully at 
home, and the comfort and repose suggested grow upon the traveler. 
Steam heat, baths and the usual accessories of modern hotels are, of course, 
to be found, the room furnishings are all that can be desired, and an auxe- 
tophone adds to the attractions of the place. 

It is a glorious spot at which to remain for a number of days or 
weeks and rest, enjoy the salmon trout fishing and tour the lake by launch 
or motor boat. 

The New Grand Canyon Hotel 

WITH the season of 1911 a new and beautiful hotel was opened 
to the public, at the Grand Canyon. This hotel rivals the finest 
resort hotels of the world. Six hundred feet in greatest length 
by four hundred feet in greatest width, it is provided with 375 guest rooms 
and 75 bath rooms. It is equipped with elevator, vacuum-cleaning plant, 
laundry, cold storage and ice-making plant, and is electric lighted and 
steam heated. The water used is brought from a natural cold spring and 
by chemical analysis is absolutely pure. 

The main feature of the hotel is the "Lounge." This is an enormous 
room 1 75 feet long by 84 feet wide, the sides practically all of plate glass. 
It is artistically and restfully furnished and on occasion is an ideal place 
for dancing.

THE LAKE COLONIAL HOTEL — DIGNIFIED AND RESTFUL 



The hotel occupies an eminence near the head of the Grand Canyon 
and Lower fall and overlooking the Upper fall. Point Lookout is within 
easy walking distance and Grand View is not far away. The Upper fall 
is about a mile distant. 

An orchestra of talent is regularly maintained at the new hotel. As 
a place to spend the summer vacation, in the midst of some of the sublimest 
scenery on the globe, and with the bracing mountain climate for a tonic, 
the Canyon hotel is beyond any tourist hotel offered elsewhere in the 
country. 

A Refuge for Game Animals 

WITH each succeeding year the wild animals in the park become a 
more interesting feature of it. Here is really the only place 
where the public in general can freely see the animals of the 
forest and the wilds in their natural state. The animals evince less and 
less timidity and, while not common, it is not an unusual sight, as the 
coaches drive along, to see an elk or a deer or two slaking their thirst in the

THE BISON HERD AT MAMMOTH HOT SPRINGS 



Stream or several quietly and unconcernedly feeding in the woods near 
the road. 

The effort to increase the buffalo herd by outside purchase and tc 
corral the animals where they can be fed and protected has met with 
success. There are now more than 150 bison in the park. 

There are large herds of antelopes and 200 mountain sheep in the 
park. Many of them range on and around Mount Everts, near Mammoth 
Hot Springs, while others are found near Tower fall. Both sheep and 
antelopes are somewhat more wary than the other animals, and, to a great 
extent, disappear in the spring. In the fall, winter, and spring, both ante- 
lopes and sheep are found in large numbers on the hills and flats above 
Gardiner and Mammoth Hot Springs. They are fed hay by the author- 
ities at Fort Yellowstone, which serves to domesticate them in great degree, 
and in recent years many antelopes graze continuously during the summer 
on the large alfalfa field just inside the park entrance at Gardiner. 

The deer, of which there are 1 ,000 or more, are increasing in num- 
ber, and the beautiful creatures are seen more and more each year here 
and there in the park. During the fall, winter, and spring, like the sheep 
and antelop>es, they are a familiar feature of the locality about Fort Yel- 
lowstone, or Mammoth Hot Springs. 

It is the elk, however, that are found in almost countless numbers, and 
during the summer they are not infrequently seen by the tourists. They 

16 



YELLOWSTONE PARK 



then, however, seclude themselves more or less in the valleys and timber, 
and gather by hundreds around Shoshone lake and in Hayden valley. 
There are bands of them frequently seen on Mount Washburn and Dun- 
raven peak. Those who wish to see a fine herd of elk can do so by riding 
on horseback a few miles up Alum creek from either Grand Canyon or 
the Yellowstone lake hotel. 

The bears are found near the hotels and it requires no exertion, beyond 
the walk of a few rods by tourists, to see them. Any evening or morning, 
with rare exceptions, from one to twenty or more may be seen eating from 
the refuse piles of the hotels. 

In portions of the park, naturally those somewhat retired and secluded, 
there are some moose, and there are also many beavers, flourishing and 
increasing in numbers. One place where these industrious animals may 
be seen is near Tower fall, where there are several colonies of them. Here, 
among the brooks in this beautiful part of the park, they may be found, 
with their dams, houses, ponds, and slides, swimming about in the water 
or cutting down trees on land, laying in their store of food for the winter. 
The Upper Yellowstone River, above the lake, is also a favorite habitat 
of the beaver, as are the beds of various streams flowing into the lake. 




BEARS LUNCHING AT GRAND CANYON HOTEL

A Fisnerman s Paraaise 

AS a place where one may indulge in angling at little or no expense or 
hardship, the park heads the list. In 1890 the United States 
L Fish Commission began stocking the waters of the park. Since 
that year about two million trout have been "planted" in the park lakes and 
streams, and these have greatly multiplied. These "plants" have com- 
prised Lake, Loch Leven, Rainbow, Von Behr, black spotted and brook 
trout, and salmon trout are also found in Yellowstone lake as a natural 
growth. 

There is now scarcely a stream or lake in the park but that has trout 
in it. From any of the hotels one can easily make fishing excursions, at 
distances ranging from a few rods to a few miles, and find fine sport. 
Those who angle in Yellowstone Park are under few restrictions, but they 
are assumed to be true sportsmen. All fish must be taken with a hook 
and line. At Yellowstone lake the fish may be taken either by casting or 
trolling. The lake trout are easily caught, even by those unaccustomed to 
fishing. For those who are adepts at angling, the most desirable spot at 
this point is in the Yellowstone river, below the outlet of the lake. Boats 
and fishing tackle for those who do not have their own, can be procured 
here. At Upper geyser basin trout can be taken anywhere in the Firehole 
river even though it is largely composed of warm water from the geysers. 
At Grand Canyon a favorite fishing spot is the reach of the river between 
the Upper and Lower falls, while another good place is the "Fishing 
Hole," seven miles from the Canyon Hotel by trail down the precipitous 
canyon wall.

HYMEN TERRACE, BEAUTIFULLY TINTED, MAMMOTH HOT SPRINGS 

Near Tower fall there is fine trouting. There, some twenty miles 
from Mammoth Hot Springs, the Yellowstone river, below the Grand 
Canyon, is a large stream with wide bends and pools and the trout are 
large and gamey. 



M' 



At Mammoth Hot Springs 

'AMMOTH Hot Springs, the first point in the tour of the park, is 
the administrative center of "Wonderland." And, it is a very 
attractive place. A large green plaza is flanked on the east by 
the red-roofed officers' buildings and barracks of Fort Yellowstone. On 
the opposite side rises Terrace mountain with the richly colored steaming 
terraces that so delight thousands of visitors. At the base of the mountain 
to the north stands the huge hotel — now being replaced by a new one — 
with other buildings occupied as stores and dwellings and by the Govern- 
ment and the Hotel and the Transportation Company's officials. By 
means of small irrigation canals, what was formerly a parched, unkempt 
waste has been changed into a green and ornamental plain. 

Mammoth Hot Springs, during the park season, is a lively spot. Tlie 
throngs of tourists and the arriving and departing coaches, the officers in 
blue and the soldiers in khaki, all combine to make the Springs a very 
interesting place, even a gay one. The supremely wonderful terraces 

19 



© THE LAND OF GEYSERS 



found here are scattered along the sides of Terrace mountain and yet are 
fairly well concentrated. The area and magnitude of thermal action, 
past and present, is absolutely astonishing to one who sees it for the first 
time. 

Pulpit, Jupiter, Cleopatra and Hymen terraces. Orange geyser, 
Cupid's Cave and the Devil's Kitchen are the most important objects. 
Near the hotel are several circular dried up wells that were formerly pools. 
Liberty Cap, a standing monument-like shaft supposed to have been, at one 
time, a living geyser like the present Orange geyser, is thirty-eight feet 
high and, irregularly, about twenty feet in diameter. The Giant's Thumb, 
not far from Liberty Cap, and similar thereto but smaller, is an object 
of interest. 

There are numerous rides, walks and drives about the springs. The 
mouth of Boiling river and the canyon and fall — Osprey fall — of the 
Middle Gardiner river behind Bunsen peak, are all within walking distance 
to good p>edestrians, or they can be reached by horseback or by surrey. 

The mountain views about Mammoth Hot Springs are one of its 
strongest and most attractive features. We are in a deep mountain bowl. 
To the east lies long, low, flat-topped, lava-palisaded Mt. Everts, at its 
base the Gardiner river; to the southwest Bunsen's Peak lifts its rounded 
crown more than 9,000 feet into the azure, gashed on one side by Golden 
Gate Canyon and on the other by the Canyon of the Gardiner with its 
beautiful, secluded fall. In the irregular gap between the two mountains, 
a distant view of the ridge lying between the Grand Canyon and Mam- 
moth Hot Springs, is unfolded. Terrace Mountain, with its many-hued 
terraces, forms the western boundary of the basin, while to the north and 
northeast a glorious view of rugged and high timbered peaks across the 
Yellowstone river and beyond Gardiner, affords a noble picture always 
refreshing and invigorating. 

Beyond Golden Gate, across Swan lake valley, the Gallatin range, 
the highest in Montana, projects some of its finest peaks skyward. Electric 
Peak and Sepulcher Mountain, first seen from near Gardiner and lying 
to the north of Mammoth Hot Springs, are the two most conspicuous and 
picturesque peaks. Mt. Holmes and the Quadrant Peaks are others. 
The tourist who remains at "the Springs" a few days will enjoy a horse- 
back ride of exploration among the foothills of the Gallatin range even 
though his ambitions may not extend to mountain climbing. 

Golden Gate and Obsiaian Clirr 

THE first day's ride is always one of expectation. The road leads 
past the terraces, climbing to Golden Gate by a light and regular 
grade. On the way the Travertine, or Hoodoo, rocks are passed. 
These are strange freaks of nature. Of limestone, they stand pitched at all 
imaginable angles and the road twists through the midst of them. They

are of a soft, silvery gray color, which fact gives name to Silver Gate, a 
characteristic spot among them. 

Golden Gate is a short, striking, rugged yellowish canyon upon 
which the Government has spent many thousands of dollars. In order to 
make it passable it was necessary to construct a viaduct of steel and con- 
crete at one point, at an expense of $10,000. Rustic fall, at the head 
of the Gate, is one of the attractions of the spot. 

Twelve miles from Mammoth Hot Springs, Obsidian Cliff, one of the 
most interesting objects in the park, is reached. It is of natural volcanic 
glass, and is a very fine example of this species of lava. The cliff is 
high, black, with an abrupt face, and, in former years, was a mine of 
wealth to the Indians for material for arrow heads. Beaver lake. Roaring 
Mountain, Apollinaris Spring, and Twin Lakes are other interesting spots 
on this ride. 

Norris Geyser 3asin 

N ORRIS geyser basin is a weird and interesting piece of landscape. 
Steam columns rise from hundreds of hot water pools and orifices 
in the white-gray basin as if it were the center of a manufacturing 
district. Norris basin is distinguished in one respect from the other geyser 
basins — it possesses the only steam geyser or geysers in the park. For-

merly, but one steam geyser, the Black Growler, was found here, but in 
recent years other "steamers" have broken forth, thus adding interest to 
the spot. 

There are several small water geysers here, the Constant and Minute 
Man being among the most prominent. The Monarch is a powerful geyser 
when in eruption and the New Crater is one of moderate intensity. The 
Valentine is one of the prettiest of the geysers, playing to a height of about 
60 feet approximately every 24 hours. 

After luncheon an hour or an hour and a half is usually given to 
"doing" the basin afoot, and the coaches are boarded at a rustic pavilion 
at the farther side of the formation. The afternoon ride is along two of 
the largest streams in the park — the Gibbon river, named in honor of the 
late Gen. John Gibbon, and the Firehole river. The ride along the Gib- 
bon river with its continuous cascades, its wide, open, mountain-bordered 
park, where the elk resort during the winter, and its winding, palisaded 
canyon, is one of the most attractive features of the park coaching trip. 

The Firehole river is larger than the Gibbon and, in some respects, 
prettier. The clarity of the deep waters and the beauty of the vegetable 
growths seen in their depths, are especially to be noted. The Cascades of 
the Firehole are a fine series of rapids between walls of blackish rock, and 
are well seen from the rock projections of the river bank.

AFTER crossing Nez Perce creek, the Fountain Hotel looms into 
view, and a short ride across an old geyser plain ends the forty- 
L mile drive at the homelike Fountain hotel. Lower geyser basin. 

In plain view of the hotel, and but a short distance away, are the 
Fountain and Clepsydra geysers. Mammoth paint pots, and many springs. 
The Fountain is a fine type of the class of geysers that have no cones. It 
is a great favorite with tourists and is a sight worth seeing. It projects 
huge masses of water spasmodically and plays at intervals of about four 
hours and for fifteen minutes at a time. The Paint Pots are nature's 
mush pools — a strange boiling caldron of tinted clays that hold one with 
peculiar fascination. 

In a shallow ravine, or draw about two miles from the hotel are the 
Great Fountain geyser and a string of water pools of most exquisite beauty. 
Here, too, is Firehole lake, most unique in its nature. 

Seen from the Fountain hotel, toward the southwest, at a distance of 
four miles, are constant and heavy clouds of steam. There, on the road 
to Upper geyser basin, is Midway geyser basin, small in superficial area, 
but the location of Excelsior geyser. Prismatic lake, and Turquoise spring, 
marvelous products of nature. The geyser is a water volcano when in 
eruption, but at present it is inactive, having last played in 1 888. 

Prismatic lake is the largest, and, perhaps, the most beautiful hot 
spring in the world. It is about 250 by 400 feet in size and it is unsur- 
passed in the richness and variety of color found in its waters and around 
its scalloped edges. 

Turquoise Spring is similar to Prismatic pool and from one-third to 
one-half as large. Its name indicates the prevailing color, which grades 
and changes into numerous others. 



Upper Geyser Basin 

NINE miles from the Fountain hotel the coaches land their passengers 
at Old Faithful Inn, Upper geyser basin, visiting Biscuit basin 
en route. 
This valley of geysers is the real center of curiosity in the park. At 
its lower end are the Fan, Mortar, and Riverside geysers; at the extreme 
upper end is Old Faithful geyser. 

Lying between the Riverside and Old Faithful geysers, along both 
sides of the Firehole river, is an array of geysers as diverse and variable in 
individual characteristics as can be imagined. 

The Giant with its fractured horn, and the Grotto with its cavernous 
cone, stand near together. The former plays to a height of 250 feet when 
in eruption; the latter reaches forty feet at its best. The Oblong, farther

along, has its crater rim studded with large geyserite nodules. Across the 
road from these are the Comet and Splendid, the latter, w^hen in eruption, 
much like Old Faithful. 

Continuing up the valley there are found many hot pools and geysers, 
among the latter, the Sawmill, Economic, Turban, and Grand, the last one 
of the finest in the park. The Castle is a wonderful piece of nature's 
work, its eruption of steam and water reaching from fifty to seventy-five 
feet, ordinarily, and not infrequently to a height of 200 feet or more. 

Here, also, are Black Sand pool. Sunset lake, a large beautiful hot 
lakelet, and Emerald pool, not quite as large as Sunset lake but perhaps 
as beautiful and wonderful. On a small, narrow divide in the valley is 
the Punch Bowl, ornately rimmed and colored in red, yellow and saffron. 

Prominent geysers seen from Old Faithful Inn are the Castle, Grand, 
Beehive, Lion, Lioness and Cubs, Old Faithful and the Giantess geysers, 
with many hot, boiling pools interspersed among them. 

Besides these more important objects, the Upper basin is filled with a 
myriad of smaller geysers and springs. To such an extent are they present 
that in the early morning thousands of steam columns, rising from the pools, 
fill the air with white, vaporous clouds, forming a wondrous spectacle.

YELLOWSTONE PARK 



The Geysers in eruption in the moonhght produce another transformation 
scene, while the giant searchHght on the roof of Old Faithful Inn, when 
turned upon Old Faithful geyser, throws upon the black background of 
the night another most beautiful picture. 

The Continental Divide 

BETWEEN the Upper geyser basin and Yellowstone lake the Conti- 
nental divide, an irregular mountain line, divides the drainage of the 
region, and diverts part of it into the Atlantic through the Yellow- 
stone and Madison rivers, the remainder to the Pacific Ocean by way of 
the Snake river. 

Leaving Old Faithful Inn the forest road passes Keppler cascade and 
winds among the hills to Shoshone Point. Here a beautiful mountain and 
timber view is unfolded, the three snow-covered peaks of the giant Tetons, 
fifty miles away, being the predominant single feature. From this point 
the tourist obtams one of the most beautiful mountam views in the park. 
The composition of the picture is of much variety and forms a most 
striking and memorable panorama. 

1 ellowstone Lake 

YELLOWSTONE lake is a lovely sheet of water, of irregular form, 
its shores heavily wooded and indented. It is of moderate depth, 
full of salmon trout, and mountain-walled. On the shore of the 
lake at the lunch station at the West Arm, there are more highly colored 
paint pots, many hot pools, and two or three geysers of moderate power.

Here is found the hot spring cone where the angler, if he so chooses, 
catches a trout in the lake and, without changing position, flops him into 
the boiling water of the pool, and, in a moment, cooks him. This seem- 
ingly improbable story is actually true, and the occurrence itself has been 
witnessed by a large number of tourists. 

From the new and stately Colonial hotel near the outlet of Yellow- 
stone lake, the prospect is one of restful peace. The large lake reaches out 
into the mountains, the irregularities of its shore hne being easily seen. 
wStevenson island lies close by and Dot island shows faintly down toward 
the southwestern shore in line with Flat mountain and Mount Sheridan. 
The southeastern arm can be traced as it winds in among the high peaks 
of the Absaroka range to the south. There, the Upper Yellowstone river, 
fresh from the high Rockies, expands into this charming lake. 

The mountain scenery of the park is seen to exceptional advantage at 
the lake. On the eastern shore, diagonally across the water from the hotel, 
Mts. Doane, Langford and Stevenson, almost wholly bare and denuded of 
verdure, rise high over all as if conscious that they were specially formed 
to perpetuate the deeds and memories of three of the original and noted 
park explorers for whom they were named. They would attract attention 
anywhere and easily dominate any landscape. 

As it sweeps both to the north and south the Absaroka range becomes 
a broken, irregular one of measurably high altitude, and of continuous and 

26 



YELLOWSTONE PARK 



fascinating interest. That it is a formidable one too, and taxes the endur- 
ance of the mountaineer, is amply evidenced by the reports and chronicles 
of the explorers. It is, in its depths, a wild, tangled, canyoned range — 
the home of bears and other wild game. 

On the southwestern shore Flat mountain. Red mountain, and Mt. 
Sheridan, dim, distant, and dark with the heavy forestry of the region, 
make a fine foil for the opposing Absarokas and break in upon the sky 
line in a manner to soften and beautify the landscape. The imagination 
can easily picture the charming effect of the gleaming inland sea found 
here set down in the bosom of 
the grim, stalwart mountains 
tike a shining jewel. 

There are beautiful camping 
and outing spots on the borders 
of Yellowstone lake and in the 
neighboring mountains. The 
boat company operating on Yel- 
lowstone lake, with its fleet of 
various sized motor and row 
boats, enables guests at the Lake 
Colonial hotel and at the several 
permanent or other camps on the 
lake, to make fishing or pleasure 
excursions about the lake or to 
make special camps here and 
there, with the hotel and regular 
camps as centers from which to 
radiate. Those remaining here 
for several days should certain- 
ly make use of the boats to ac- 
quaint themselves with the beau- 
ties of the remoter shores of the 
lake.

YELLOWSTONE RIVER FROM BRINK OF UPPER 
FALL, CANYON HOTEL IN DISTANCE 



To tne Canyon 

LEAVING the beautiful lake and its delightful hotel, the road follows 
the windings of the Yellowstone river, by all odds the noblest stream 
i in the park, and one of the largest and most important in the west. 
Half way between Yellowstone lake and the Canyon are found two 
or three interesting objects. The most important is Mud volcano, gener- 
ally, but incorrectly, termed Mud geyser. The volcano continually throws 
thick, roily water and mud from the bottom of its cavern against its sloping 
walls, the brown Hquid mud being projected in all directions. 

27 



© THE LAND OF GEYSERS 



A few rods beyond the volcano, and on a level with the road, at the 
extremity of a little gulch and reached by well-tramped trails, is the dainty 
Gothic Grotto, a small aperture in the hillside, symmetric and gothic like. 

It was here that the Nez Perce Indians under Chief Joseph crossed 
the Yellowstone river on their way through the park, during the war of 
1877. 

The peculiar design used by the Northern Pacific railway for a 
trademark is well known. It comes from an ancient Chinese diagram 
known as the Great Monad, which is many centuries old. At Trout 
creek the little stream has gracefully worked out an almost perfect dupli- 
cate of the Northern Pacific's trademark. (See cut on page 32.) 

The Grand Canyon ana tne Falls 

AS the tourist nears the end of the coaching trip from the lake to the 
Grand Canyon hotel, the road winds along the bank of the Yel- 
lowstone river, now a deep and rapid stream carrying an immense 
volume of water between its confined banks. As the coaches stop at a 
wide platform, the proximity of the Upper fall of the Yellowstone is not at 
first realized, though its dull roar is plamly heard. Passing down a 
broad stairway erected by the Government, the visitor stands upon a look- 
out from which a splendid view of the lesser, but still tremendously impos- 
ing, of the two Grand Canyon cataracts is obtained. Below, the river 
rushes on to the Great, or Lower fall, after its precipitous rush to the sheer 
ledge at the brink of the Upper fall and its abrupt plunge of I 09 feet. 

One finds it impossible to separate the Grand Canyon from the Great 
fall. The former seems made by the Creator as the setting for the latter, 
and the latter impresses the spectator as the supreme embellishment of one 
of the most magnificent of all the mighty works of God. Masterpieces of 
color, rich in hue and exquisite in their living presentment of some great 
thought of a human artist, are fitly set in rich and exquisite frames of gold. 
So with the Great fall. Framed in richer setting by far than human 
minds could plan or execute, it is the great objective in a perspective of 
overwhelming impressiveness, as one views it from a hundred projecting 
points down the canyon. On either side is the glorious blaze of color from 
the scarred and fire-tinted walls of the canyon, with the pure blue sky for 
its background, and the blaze of the bright sunlight bringing every detail 
into bold relief. 

One may view the canyon in the opposite direction, following the 
narrow, winding ribbon of green-white formed by the river far below. 
The same infinitely beautiful color display is there, and the scene is a 
powerful one and beyond words, but the fall is not there and one feels its 
absence more or less keenly. In the Great fall there is power and force 
and a superb quality of action which tempers and dignifies the whole scene. 

In itself, the Great fall is notable for its remarkable grandeur. The

enormous volume of water, caught between scarped walls of lava, tumbles 
sheer 308 feet over the sharp-cut brink, and as the green mass divides 
under the resisting force of the air and the underlying rock, the water 
particles take on all the varying shades from the original green to milky 
whiteness. The spray and spume, caught by the breezes, form a bridal 
veil of infinitely fine texture, which drapes as silken hangings might, the 
jagged rocks at the bottom of the tremendous descent. A delicate rainbow 
plays in the sunlight, and the spectator must, for the pure beauty of the 
scene, sit spell-bound by that marvel of Nature. 

The walls of the canyon are formed of rhyolite on which the thermal 
action of hot water and steam has worked many changes. From this 
cause comes the tremendous variety of coloring. Evidences of the pro- 
cesses by which the colors of the canyon have been burned in are detected 
in the steam fissures which exist along the river at the bottom of the gorge. 

It is the color aided by the sculptural effects that distinguishes the 
Grand Canyon from any other gorge in the world. Yellows, whites, and 
reds predominate and are the dominant chord in the marvelous harmony of 

29 



THE LAND OF GEYSERS 



tints. And Time, the perfect artist, has subdued all to such a marvel of 
delicacy that to gaze on the scene inevitably reminds one of the work of a 
Titian or Raphael, though even then the comparison is weak. No human 
hand will ever place on canvas a true picture of the Grand Canyon of the 
Yellowstone. Such a scene might be truthful in line and perspective, but 
the greatest mind would still fail to grasp the wonders of that picture, and 
human hand can never reproduce what the Almighty has written there. 

±he Park 1 our 

THE orderly handling of the large number of visitors to Yellowstone 
Park each summer makes it necessary that there be a fixed 
schedule for the park tour, which is three months in duration, being 
from June 15 to September 15. The tourist need not conform strictly 
to the schedule itself, however, except when personal convenience 
is best served in this way. Visitors frequently wish to sojourn 
en rouie at points which specially interest them, and are for this reason 
permitted to spend additional days at the various hotels or camps without 
extra charge for transportation. The expense of lay-overs is represented in 
the additional time at the various hotels and camps at the regular per diem rate. 
While the tour of five and a half days within the Park, which is the 
scheduled trip, enables the visitor to view, practically, everything of note, 
there are numerous points of interest which can not be thoroughly seen and 
enjoyed without a lay-over, and extra time will always prove to be time 
enjoyably and profitably spent.

Short Trips 

AMONG the more attractive of short journeys within the park are: A 
trip to Tower fall for pleasure and fishing purposes, a climb up 
k Bunsen's and Electric peaks, a ride over Mount Everts, and a 
trip to the Canyon and Fall of the Middle Gardiner river, from Mammoth 
Hot Springs; from the Lower basin, visit the many beautiful springs and 
pools round about Great Fountain geyser, make fishing excursions to the 
junction of the Gibbon and Firehole rivers, and also up Nez Perce creek; 
a trip to Lone Star geyser from Old Faithful Inn or the Upper basin camp; 
fishing or camping trips from the Lake hotel or camp to points on Yellow- 
stone lake or river, or down to the Jackson lake country; the inspiring trip 
from the Grand Canyon to the top of Mount Washburn by the new road 
from the Canyon hotel, and a trip across Yellowstone river and down the 
south side of Grand Canyon to Artist's point, by way of the new concrete 
bridge above the Upper fall. 

Wherever one goes, whichever way one turns in the park, there are 
the mountains to be seen. The park is a mountain region planed and 
smoothed down here and there by glacial action and erosion. There is, 
therefore, great variety to be seen in mountain sculpture. The finest side 
trip in the park, by all means, and it would be a most notable trip in any 
part of the world, is the one here suggested from the Grand Canyon hotel 
or camps to Mt. W^ashburn. The top of the mountain is more than 1 0,000 
feet above the ocean's surges, and the ride from the canyon comprehends a 
vertical progress of between 2,000 and 2,500 feet. The serpentine road 
winding along the sides of the mountains and over sharp and elevated 
ridges, rising steadily until its final short spiral reaches the extreme height 
of the peak, is a great engineering exploit. 

The view from the summit of Mt. Washburn embraces, practically, 
the greater part of the park and gives, as nothing else can, a compre- 
hensive idea of the actual unity of the park despite the diversified nature 
of it. The view extends beyond the confines of the park to the north, 
embraces the rough, craggy mountains along the eastern boundary, Yellow- 
stone Lake and beyond, to the south, including numerous geyser steam 
columns, while at one's feet almost, the course of the yawnmg chasm of 
the Grand Canyon is easily marked. It is a soul inspiring sight that ought 
not be missed. 

The general tour is arranged with the idea of giving the visitor an 
opportunity to see just as many of the wonders of the park as can possibly 
be included within the time specified. It succeeds admirably, but no jour- 
ney of this length of time could acquaint one with all the beauties of the 
region. ! 

TTie transportation agent — there is one at each hotel — should be ad- 
vised in advance, as far as possible, where it is decided to lay-over or other- 
wise change the plans. Tlie manager of the hotel should also be notified 
in order that satisfactory arrangements for rooms may be made.

Tourist Literature 

ONE small booklet can no more than summarize the important features 
of the Park trip. Additional information is contained in the 
Yellowstone Park Map Folder, which will be sent free on request. 

"Yellowstone Park" is a new and very fine 40-page album-booklet, 
specially designed to illustrate and describe the Park in a pictorial way 
rather than by text. It is I 0^ by 8f inches in size, contains 28 full-page, 
12 half-page, and numerous smaller half-tone illustrations and three maps. 
A terse, succinct description accompanies each of the larger illustrations. It 
is a valuable and useful compendium of the park, and will be sent for six 
cents upon request. This is a very attractive publication. Send for it! 

A Panoramic Picture of Yellowstone National Park, a birdseye 
view in colors, will be sent for ten cents. 

The Grand Canyon is a new, illustrated folder describing a short 
park trip for those who cannot take time to make the regular and far 
more satisfactory one. 

"Along the Scenic Highway," describing the transcontinental journey 
over the Northern Pacific railway, is a handsome illustrated booklet replete 
with information and will be sent free on request. 

A map folder showing train schedules will be sent for the asking. 

If there is anything the tourist wishes to know about Yellowstone Na- 
tional Park, the Northwest, the Puget Sound country, the Columbia River 
region, or Avlaska, all ideal places in which to spend a vacation or enjoy an 
outing, he should write to A. M. Cleland, General Passenger Agent, 
Northern Pacific Railway, St. Paul, Minn., or to any of the representatives
